600 to 1

The United States of America, known for its excessive waste production, is now poised to embrace a future of waste removal centered around sustainability. With an astonishing annual output of 268 million tons (equivalent to approximately 1,600 to 1,700 pounds per person), the nation has long grappled with the challenge of managing this large volume of trash. However, the solid waste management industry recognizes this as an opportunity for transformative change, with sustainability acting as the primary driving force.
